James Franklin defeats a top 10 team
- Thread starter Psugo823
- Start date
He didn’t just beat them, but beat the hell out of them.
No it won’t….there will be excuses…Utah’s not that good, they play in a poor conference, their QB got hurt…you know the routine.
He beat the PAC12 Champ on their home turf. How many charter members of the NNNNNCAC are on suicide watch tonight? 11 wins and a minimum of top 10 finish......I know.....WE DESERVE BETTER!
Big 10 Championship, Fiesta Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Rose Bowl wins. 9 more years!

This is an excellent win. Lots of youth on the field. Missing arguably 2 of our best players. Perpetually embattled QB was nearly flawless (5 incomplete passes with 3 drops). Played with a true freshman at LT.
The history books don't account for details. This is a win. We beat a run heavy, tough against the run team.

Didn’t seem meaningless to the players today.
Then why are you here discussing and downplaying it?
"All the metrics were in favor of PSU" when the Utah QB went down.
Where is Peggy Pigeon?
This is, at least, the fifth time he's been miserably wrong in his prognostication.
I think they nailed it over on the pitt Rivals board: Utah must be a fraud since they lost to UCLA who lost to a putrid pitt team. Therefore, Penn State's win is tainted and meaningless.
Get lost commando and cry over your buckeyes miss as Clock struck on New Year!! Buckeyes in trouble next year
I didn't discuss the "game". I discussed the comment. We all know this doesn't change anyone's opinion on Franklin. I think he had a great season and hoping that he takes the next step next year by beating Michigan or Ohio State
We could have lost like Purdue lost today and I would have said it was meaningless and still a great season
How is that bitter? I literally didn't care for a second when Michigan lost.
Georgia was likely going to beat Michigan or TCU by 20+. It's just a bad look for the Big Ten yet again.
Yes he did… we’ve waited six yrs and finally that monkey is off his back! Kudos for a great game and great win. Celebration is on.
If Lions lose to tOSU & UMich & goes 10-2 then HCJF will stay & get an extension.
Canning a 10-2 coach will ruin Lion football
Utah will drop out of the top ten so we still didn't beat a top ten team. 🙄
Yeah we did. It counts because all that matters is where they were before it.
You know Pitt was dying for us to lose so they could brag all day how they beat the team that beat the team who beat PSU, therefore Pitt was better than PSU….they’re world was crushed again by PSU tonight.
Did you see how physical Utah was, though? That’s what I saw on the game thread about 50 times
PSU beat the crap out of them. They really scored one legit TD. Their second TD happened because Kalen King had to take a sh*t and missed a drive and then and TD in garbage time. Really 35-7. Complete domination of a top 10 opponent (and Pac12 conf champ).
Some of those round pegs looked pretty good tonight......and 11-2!
It's been a difficult year for the couch coaches.
Perhaps they'll get their wish. I imagine Franklin is a hot commodity after this season.
Yep, we don't play well against physical teams.....Utah brings it like Michigan. They had several victories better than any PSU had. On and on and on.
